Victorinox more than 130 years of experience

The little red pocket knife, with Cross & Shield emblem on the handle is an instantly recognizable symbol of our company. In a unique way, it conveys excellence in Swiss craftsmanship, and also the impressive expertise of more than 2’000 employees worldwide.

The principles by which we do business, are as relevant today as they were in 1897 when our company founder, Karl Elsener, developed the “Original Swiss Army Knife”: functionality, innovation, iconic design and uncompromising quality.

Our commitment to these principles for more than 130 years has allowed us to develop products that are not only extraordinary in design and quality, but also in their ability to serve as reliable companions on life’s adventures, both great and small.

Today, the full range of Victorinox knives is comprised of over 1’200 models. 60’000 pocket knives and 60’000 household and professional knives are produced in our factory in Ibach-Schwyz, Switzerland per day.
